DESTINY OF NORTHERN cALIfoRNl


The railroad era of Northern California must
wait as they waited, on the grand North and
South Trunk road, that is to make the western
terminals OF all he tranScOntnental lines tribu-
tary to its traffic and that is to be the unrivaled
all-rail medium for the transfer and exchange
ofproducts and staples of commerce indigenous
TO the differing climes of the Pacific coast, from
Alaska to the City of Mexico. The supreme
significance of this last and greatest of the
roads originating in California has been but
appreciated, it must be remembered that in its
whole length through towns and cities of its
own creation, through fertile valleys and COM
munities to which il has brought the markets of
the world, and over and across mountains,
rivers, plains and deserts, which it has sur
mounted and to which it gave the first startling
signs of civilized life, it will illustrate
all the exigeneies and Investigations of
railroad construction, service and develop
ment To be fully realized the California
and Oregon road must be completed, as it
would have been two years ago, but for little
inflated boom" of autiland-gIant and anti
railroad economists. Ii is not only the finishing
section in what is substantially one line of road,
reaching from the tropics to the icebergs but it
is the final segment in the Incompatible circle
of allrail connections by which anti railroad
patriots may celebrate its completion by Il jubi-
liant excursion round the mighty nation. How
deeply the mining and mountain counties will
be indebted 10 them and their economical facil-
tiles, including that of uniform rates, for the
completion of road with gradients of lie feet
to the mile in two divisions OF ten and eleven
miles. between Dunsmuir and Edgwo0d, and
running up to maximum of ia feet to the
mile on the Siskiyou mountains and with many
other exceptional conditions of construction
and operation, we leave them to decide. In
about one year they will have the complete
road with its magical influence upon values
and industrial developments. and, in their
| order, the resulting branch roads and feeders.

Subject to the same governing factors that
have made the rate per ton per mile more and
per passenger mile less in Europe than in the
United States, they are relatively higher in the
unsettled and uncultiyated country west of the
Missouri river than in the nation at large. TAX

above the national average. which includes all
the great trunk lines of the East. In both de-
partInents of service the Southern Pacific Com
pany is below the average of the FIVE companies
with which it is classed. On the whole system
in California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and
Arizona the average rate per ton mile is Les
cents, or about ID per cent, and per passenger
mile 2 IS cents or rs per cent less than the ay-
erage of its group. And while we have not re-
iueed the statement 10 actual demonstration,
we know that the rates in California are much
lower than on its Nevada and territorial divis-
IONS probably in about the same proportion
that those are below average rates on the
Pacific group. And, very properly, they are
in about the same proportion lower than
rates on the shorter and weaker roads of
this State What is there in this deterni-
nate adjustment of compensation to the varying
conditions of service, that should be subject TO
arbitrary revision, or that should be changed at
all otherwise than by the course of events and
the continued operation of the pervading and

figured In society in the days OF Gen.

names as Annie, Alice, Mabel, Jennie

from other generations continues its
